Be Separate From The World ~ 2 Corinthians 6:11-18

"Be ye not equally yoked together with unbelievers." Do not get tied up with dealings and commitments with nonmembers that cause you to bring your faith down. Sometimes this includes dating or marrying outside the church. It is important that the gospel be a top priority in our life, and that others know this so they can be influenced in the best way possible by one's faith.

"Come out from among them, and be ye separate." Stay away from associations that will lead you away from Christ. I attended General Conference this year and was amazed at how many anti-LDS protestors there are around Temple Square. It just seems so silly to me that they think they can convince a large group of faithful members think otherwise of their religion. However, it is a nice feeling to enter Temple Square away from evil like this and feel the peaceful atmosphere (and of course feeling the peace INSIDE the temple itself). Evil is not going to go away no matter how faithful we are, but we can still resist it.

"Touch not the unclean thing." Do not fall into temptation; sometimes this can cause a bad habit and even an addiction! Pornography is a huge temptation and addiction today with both members and nonmembers and it is sad how much evil and sin is caused by simply viewing the pornography. It twists our morals and puts us in a different state of mind, and can change our lives for the worse. Sometimes I see one awful image on Facebook or social media, and I have to immediately remove it from my news feed or delete it somehow, so I do not have to see it again.
